The following from a Western paper
is equally applicable to Grayling 1t is
sound common sense aud is worthy of
a careful perusal: IF you want your
town to improve, improve it. If you
want to make your town lively, make
1t. Don't go to sleep, but get up and
work for it. Push. Get in. Adver-
tise it. Talk about it, and talk favor
ably. Ifyou have any property. i'm
prove it. Paint your houses, clean up
your back yard. Make your surround
ings pleasant and you will feel better
and your property will be worth more
dollars in the market. II you are do
ing reasonably well, advise your far
awav friends to come and invest near
you. Work steadily for your home in
terests. Trade at home and help your
home dealers. Keep your money at
home as much as possible, and It Is
likely to help you in return. The sue
cessful towns have been made success
fuI by the property owners pulling to-
gether. Public Improvement is an in
vestment that pays. Don't waste your
time over dirty neighborhood quarrels,
and hold back from some good object
for spite, but work for some good, and
YOU will find yourself benefited. Get
at 1t. Wake mp. Rustic. There Is
no time to be lost, and every little
helps. loot your horn and toot it

Good Times Ahead.

All the indications are that prosperi-
ty Is In store for this country for at
least two years to come. 1t is a curious
fact that periods of depression usually
last about four years, to be followed
by about four years of advancing
prices and more hopeful feeling in
trade circles. We had hard times from
1878 to 1877. Prices improved in 1878
and 1879. 1880. and 1881 were ''boom-
ing" years. The shooting of Presi-
dent Garfield and the failure of the
corn crop of 1881 were the beginning
of another four years of depression.
The times mcnded in the summer of
1885, If the analogy holds good, we
may look forward to improving condi-
tions until 1889. There are some un-
wholesome symptoms just now, as ex-
travagant land speculation in various
parts of the west and southwest. In
deed, since 1887, there was never 80
wild a craze as is now prevailing in
and near the new western centers of
population. Lots, they say, are sell
ing in Kansas City as high as on
Broadway, New York. and the craze is
showing itself in. Denver, st. Paul,
D-.'-.@i,, -'-@ -ti.-- -;-;.,s WESTERN CrJies.
Even in Southern California there Is
the widest kind of speculation now
under way, especially near Los Angeles,
which Is beginning to be known
throughout the world as the best san
itarium for consumptives. There is a
great deal of activity ia real estate in
the middle and Atlantic States, but as
yet it cannot be said that there is any
unwholesome boom. In cycles of
speculation, land is about the last
thing to go up in value, and when
this tendency is manifest, the begin
ming OF the end is approaching; for
money sunk in land is not im Mediate
ly available. But it is idle to antici-
pate disaster. The United States
alone, of all the nations of the earth,
is exceptionally prosperous. One rea-
son Is because we use silver as a money
metal, while it is in great part discard
ed by the nations Of Europe. Demo

The state campaign in Kentucky
promises to prove a most interesting
one. The prohibition question has be-
come burning issue among the Ken
tuckians, and it is freely asserted that
the total vote cast at state election will
not be less than $1,000 for the third
party ticket, of which at least $4,000
will be taken from the democratic
ranks. There is also strong but quiet
feeling of dissatisfaction among the
democrats themselves over Buckner's
nomination; and it is believed that he
win run 10, 900 votes behind his ticket
on this account alone. II these things
be true. the prospect is good for a re-
publican victory.

This administration has aroused

This administration has aroused q
hornets nest about its ears by the
proposition to return to the southern
states the confederate flags captured
in the rebellion, and now held as
trophies of war at Washington. Such
vigorous protest has gone up from
the veterans all over the country that
must surprise the present occupant of
the White House, to whose heart the
patriotic thrill the soldier feels is an
unknown sentiment. No true soldier
who recognize the issues of the war
long since and forever settled propose
to fiaunt these captured banners in the
face Of the vanquished foe, but they
do believe that these relics are of the
same historic interest as the monu-
ments to the fallen veterans, and
should no more be returned to the
southern states than that these monu-
ments should be torn down. If this
move is really what it appears to be-
a concession to southern sentiment for
political effect--it Is blunder whose
effect Cleveland will feel with force
that will effectually bury him.

Alfalfa for Hogs.

@. E. Sowle. Barton Co., Kansas,
writes: My first experience in soilings
is grand success. Since May lst.
have been cutting alfalfa, and supply
ing my herd of hogs with all they
would consume, and that was no incon-
siderable amount. have never seen
hogs appear more thrifty or healthy.
And my experiment thus far leads me
to believe that one acre of alfalfa will
feed 80 large hogs, and make as much
growth rs a full ration of corn, and
more healthy. 1t is surprising the
amount of clover that will grow upon
our lightest sandy soils, without rain
or irrigation. Last year it made three
good cuttings for hay, and was used
as pasture after Aug. 1st, until near
ly Dec. 1st. 1t also makes an early
growth in spring, fully two weeks be-
fore the native grasses.-Prairie Farm

Death of an Old Citizen.

Capt. w II. F. Wilson, a we'll known
and highly esteemed citizen, expired sud
denly at his residence on Prince George
street, about eleven o'clock last night.
Captain Wilson has been in failing health
for some time, and his death, though sud
den, was not unexpected by his many
friends. He had lived the allotted time
to man on earth-three score years and
more-having reached his 18th year. He
was an earnest and devoted christian, and
for many years an official and active mem
Der of Wesley Chapel Church. He was
an affectonate father and husband a kind
hearted neighbor; a fast friend and brother
and a useful citizen. His death will be
greatly lamented by all who know him.
He had several times been elected to the
office of alderman and had been appoint
ed to other officers of profit and trust-all
of which he filled with honor and credit
to himself
For many years he has been largely en-
gagged in the stove, tin and sheet iron bust
ness under the firm name of w. III. F.
Wilson g Son, at 30 and 81 Main street.
He was three times married-his third
wife surviving him. He lived to rear a
large family of sons, and has several
grand and great grand children living.
He was prominent member of the Sons
of Temperance, and always took an ac-
tive interest in all works of benevolence
and reformation, and gave literally of his
time and money to such purposes.

Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and

consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
$4,000 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was re-
ported. Such medicine as the German

Oxford Leagne.

Another Indictment Monday night did
not prevent the assembling of goodly
number of the members of the Oxford
League. After appropriate opening exer-
cises, Prof. Reid proceeded with Bible
History commencing at the period of the
Judges. The successive relapses of the chill
dren of Israel into the denominations of idol
airy and the raising up by God of leaders
and deliverers was set forth showing the
power of God to bring the children of Israel
up TO a better standard. Especial. nete
was taken of Gideon, Abimelech, Jeph
than and Samson. The life of Samson
was made to assume almost new phases
and was none the less interesting to those
already familiar with it, His great
strength and the loss of ii through the
treachery of his wife, Del lab, were plac
ed in marked juxtaposition and the des-
cription of his life was closed with the ac-
count of his vengeance upon those who
had deprived him of his two eyes. The
subject of the next meeting will be the
period of history set forth in the First
Book of Samuel. There will also enter
into the evenings programme, some Sc
lectiOns in music and recitation.

County Commissioners.

The County Commissioners Board was
in session to day examining into the ac-
counts of Treasurer Bannon with view
of turning the Office over to his successor
on the 1st of May. They also had before
them the case of Weaver & Co., builders
of Severn River Bridge for extras, but
took no definite action in the matter. The
county printing was also a subject of their
discussion and the reference made by the
CAPITAL on Saturday to MIR. McCullough's
remarks in his opening argument before
the Court, in the statement he made in the
case of King VS.. the County Commission
ers for extra charges in which he stated
THAT the printing of the county, if given
out by contract, could be done for the sum
lars to the county"
This charge of the Counsellor of the
Board in open Court rather astonished
them as well as the people, and the mat
ter was freely discussed. A member of
the Board inquired of the CAPITAL man
this morning if he thought the printing
could be done for this amount. Our re
ply was that if they desired to act honestly
in the matter, and do the printing on bus
mess principles, and put it out by con.
tract, as should be done, they would then
see what it could be done for, and there
would be no cause for censure. We shall
probably have something more to say on
this subject, and some other matters in
which the people are interested, in a
few days, and will endeavor to throw a
little light on the ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain, in the award
ing of contracts by this Board.
